I think I'll repost my last several newsletters, since they're in fact parts of a book, and reading them in sequence might help you remember where we are when I start again tomorrow.

This should set you up right to see where I'm going tomorrow, and why you should be a lot more alarmed than you are about Trump's foreign policy--or why you're right to be alarmed. I hope you'll all read with an open mind.

It's a very good question, and I'd like to hear what Sinologists think:
@BillBishop certainly seems to think theory below's' the correct one: sinocism.com
"The broader context for this crisis is that the CCP has long pushed to increase its “international discourse power 国际话语权“, and as with many things its efforts have intensified under Xi. The idea is that China’s share of international voice is not commensurate --
"with its growing economic, military and cultural power and that the Party should have much more control over the global discussion of all things Chinese, in any language, anywhere."

Exclusive: U.S. cedes Syrian city to Russia in battlefield "handover" as Turkey tries to take it newsweek.com/exclusive-wash…
A senior Pentagon official told Newsweek that U.S. personnel, "having been in the area for longer, has been assisting the Russian forces to navigate through previously unsafe areas quickly."
I approve of this. It's gracious and helpful. And since Putin owns the world now, we may as well become accustomed to making the little details of his life more comfortable. Anything else we can do for you, Vova?

Karagül is overtly nuts. He has always sounded like this. And so, frankly, has Erdoğan. Stick with me for this thread.

2010: U.S. President Barack Obama called Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Sunday to congratulate him on the “vibrancy of Turkey’s democracy” after results indicated a comfortable victory for the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP.
“The president acknowledged the vibrancy of Turkey’s democracy as reflected in the turnout for the referendum that took place across Turkey today,” the White House said in a press release after the leaders’ conversation, AFP reported."

Good evening #threadnought -
Let's knock out the last of the transcript from the TCPA hearing. Why not. It's a beautiful evening. I could doing so many other things - but how can I stop watching when there are so many train cars flying through the air?
Sorry if my enthusiasm level is down a bit on this one - Ty's performance so atrocious that it's been literally draining to wade through the disaster. So so much cringe.
When we left off last night, Judge Chupp had elected to move on to the Funimation case, leaving defamation and conspiracy still to be determined for Toye and Rial.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#Remember
In Deuteronomy 8, Moses gave a very powerful speech. It was actually a Message. Moses told the children of Israel, and us by extension, in verse 2 to 'remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee'. #Remember
The greatest crime anyone of us will commit is to forget. We must #Remember all the way we were brought through because if we don't, we will misbehave and if we misbehave, we will suffer the consequences.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.
